Hold off reviewing this one for a bit... It requires Module::Install, which in turn requires a whole stack of modules. I'll be submitting that stack ASAP. OK, the stack was smaller than I thought (one module). Review away. :-) You might consider adding BuildRequires: perl(Algorithm::Diff), perl(Text::Diff), perl(YAML) for slightly better test coverage. Review: * package meets naming and packaging guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written, uses macros consistently and follows the Perl specfile template. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. It's not included separately in the package, but this is not necessary as the upstream tarball does not include it. * source files match upstream: 1917571661a8302626a8c82eb047f941 Test-Base-0.50.tar.gz 1917571661a8302626a8c82eb047f941 Test-Base-0.50.tar.gz-srpm * latest version is being packaged. * BuildRequires are proper. * package builds in mock (development, x86_64). * rpmlint is silent. * final provides and requires are sane. * no shared libraries are present. * package is not relocatable. * owns the directories it creates. * doesn't own any directories it shouldn't. * no duplicates in %files. * file permissions are appropriate. * %clean is present. * %check is present and all tests pass: All tests successful, 3 tests and 4 subtests skipped. Files=98, Tests=418, 6 wallclock secs ( 4.71 cusr + 1.49 csys = 6.20 CPU) * no scriptlets present. * code, not content. * documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary. * %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package. * no headers. * no pkgconfig files. * no libtool .la droppings. * not a GUI app. APPROVED I've some reservations about the approval of this module. It appears to have several optional/missing Requirements and BR. BR: Text::Diff, YAML Req: Text::Diff, LWP::Simple, YAML I think we should at least BuildRequires: perl(Text::Diff) and Requires: perl(Text::Diff), perl(LWP::Simple) Note: IIRC the new version of YAML requires Test::Base => may cause circular dependencies problems. Note2: It's 4:00am. I will give another look at this module in a few hours. You'll note I suggested the addition of those BR:s, but all they add is additional test coverage. As far as I know, we have no policy on optional requirements. I suppose there's no harm in adding them as long as they're small and we have repoclosure, but I would argue that it would be a terrible idea to dictate that all optional requirements be made mandatory. So I would leave it up to the maintainer. I'm importing -2 with explicit dependencies on Text::Diff and Algorithm::Diff. That makes all the tests pass. Let me know if I need to make any further changes. Steven, The Algorithm::Diff requirement and build requirement can be dropped as Text::Diff requires it. The Test::Base::Filter may use the LWP::Simple module to download files. Being this a test module I think it should be nice to require it (not BR). jpo (In reply to comment #7) > The Algorithm::Diff requirement and build requirement can be dropped > as Text::Diff requires it. > > The Test::Base::Filter may use the LWP::Simple module to download files. Being > this a test module I think it should be nice to require it (not BR). Done and done. Thanks Steven. Imported into CVS, branches created, and builds pending. This package is in EPEL5 but not EPEL6. Is there any reason for that? I would like to see this package in EPEL6, and I am willing to help co-maintain it. |
